Let’s show Rep. Brown and all of our elected officials that anti-LGBT slurs–and the unfair and outdated beliefs that spur them–have no place in our discourse. And let’s give Rep. Brown a tangible reminder of the people of our state who refuse to put up with such trash talk by sending him Froot Loops!

Congrats on the humor, Equality NC. You’ve brightened my day. But, just my personal two cents: Brown needs to do more than apologize. He needs to resign, immediately. As he has proven he cannot fairly represent all of his constituents equally, it is clear he can no longer faithfully execute the duties of his office in service to the people of this great state. Rep. Brown, it is time for you to go. Hate and prejudice have no place in public service.
